At night.

The father and son, who were tired from a day, dragged their tired bodies back to their temporary 'home', which was a leaky house in the south of the city, well, very, very dilapidated.

How broken is this house? Let's put it this way, there was a light wind outside, a strong wind inside the house, a light rain outside, a heavy rain inside the house, and sometimes the two of them had to take shelter from the rain when the rain was heavier.

The house was covered with a large wooden plank, a large shop, counting the two of them slept with more than 30 men, and the smell of sweat and feet in it could smoke and vomit out the breakfast, and the hay on the wooden board was used as a mattress, and there were no cotton clothes and quilts in winter.

Five generations of troubled times, this is already the standard configuration of 'foreign' refugees like them, and that's it, they have to pay three cents a day for rent.

Although they were very tired, the two of them did not fall asleep, Sun Chunming rubbed Sun Yue's little buttocks that had been beaten for a day, and he had to talk cross talk to his roommates on the big bunk.

They said that cross talk is much more profitable than these coolies, they don't make everyone laugh, they don't let everyone like them, they don't dare to sleep, and the new half of the gold cake in their arms is all the hope of their grandfather, but they don't dare to let people steal or rob it.

So the next morning, the father and son got dressed, washed their faces, and deliberately folded two wickers, chewed up and cleared the tartar, and carried the little belongings they had accumulated for most of the month, and headed towards their destination: Cao's baked cake shop.

They plan to take this place down, first have a nest, have a living income, and then think about the future of going out and going to the phase.

The two of them have been staring at this place for a day or two, and they will come over to eat baked cakes every day, so Lao Cao is also familiar with them, and when he saw them coming, he said with a smile: "Here you two, it's still the old rule, three baked cakes?" ”

Sun Chunming said with a smile: "I don't eat baked cakes today, I have something to discuss with you, you are busy first, and we will wait for you to be busy with the meal." ”

"Cheng, then you two sit in the room and drink a bowl of water."

After entering the house, Sun Yue looked around the room and drooled with envy.

In fact, this house is not big, in essence, it is a slightly larger family, with about 80 square meters, and a window is opened on the street, and it has become a baked cake business.

Although the house can't be said to be surrounded by walls, but to be honest, there is really nothing decent, if it is placed in the future generations, it will belong to the object of poverty alleviation, but for the father and son in this matter, such a house is simply the goal of life.

After nearly an hour, Lao Cao was finally busy, moved a stool and sat down casually in front of the father and son, and said, "Two, what are you looking for my Lao Cao?" ”

Sun Chunming opened his mouth and said, "Brother Cao, that's the case, our father and son want to buy your shop, you can see you make a price." ”

The old Cao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother, are you joking, this shop is not only our family's livelihood, but also our family's place to live. ”

Sun Chunming said: "Big brother, our father and son are really sincere. ”

"No matter how sincere you are, you don't sell it, I also know your father and son, you said that cross talk can make a lot of money a day, why do you have to buy my shop."

"There's got to be a home."

The old Cao was angry, "If you two want to start a family, you have to make me homeless first?" ”

"Brother, we are really sincere"

"Okay, okay, then tell me how much money you plan to pay for my shop."

Lao Cao thought to himself, the market price of his house is about 100 yuan, if they can pay more than 200 yuan, he can also consider changing places, anyway, he has skills, where to eat.

Sun Chunming said very embarrassedly: "Eighty runs." ”

"Eighty? I understand, you two are here to talk about cross talk about Cao Ye. ”

Saying this, Lao Cao slammed his palm on the table, obviously really angry.

This old Cao is a Guanzhong person, not to mention the five big and three thick, and the right hand is missing two fingers, I heard that he was injured when he was a soldier in the past, and he started a fire with a momentum, and it was really fierce, Sun Yue couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart.

Sun Chunming was also a little stunned, he didn't expect this old Cao to be a kind person on weekdays, and it was so terrifying to start a fire.

But the father and son calculated that this day was not a day or two, and if they really left like this, there would be no such opportunity.

"Brother Cao, don't be angry, do you buy and sell, pay attention to the sky-high price and sit on the ground to pay back, if you are not satisfied with the price, you say, we have a discussion, then it is called trading, do you say that it is so reasonable."

The so-called bargaining is of course nonsense, the two of them sold their underwear, that is, eighty times, Sun Chunming is just delaying time, Sun Yue is also gagging on the side to help his father pull together, while looking out anxiously.

After another half an hour, this old Cao finally got impatient and began to drive people away.

"Master Cao, I don't have the time to accompany the two of you to talk about the amusement of cross talk, this shop is not for sale, get out of me."

Sun Chunming still wants to say again, "Brother Cao......"

Lao Cao took out a stick and said, "Get out!" ”

The father and son glanced at each other, and their hearts were anxious to go to the house, and at this juncture, there was finally chaos outside.

"It's not good~ It's not good~ The captain mutinied in Chenqiaoyi! The captain mutinied at Chenqiaoyi! ”

Onslaught!

The big stone in the hearts of the two of them finally let go, and secretly said, finally came specially.

It's just that the two of them didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to talk, they took a step and really walked out the door, but they wanted to go, but Lao Cao didn't let them go.

"Brother! Brother! Don't go, the price is negotiable, negotiable, eighty, eighty, you give me eighty, and I will give you the deed immediately. ”

Their generation of Kaifeng people can be regarded as full of disasters and difficulties. Twenty years ago, Yelu Deguang conquered Kaifeng, although the Khitan soldiers were strictly ordered to slaughter the city, but the Khitan people were uncontrollable, and there were still people in a small half of the city who suffered.

Ten years ago, Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, was also dressed in a yellow robe outside Kaifeng City, but this benevolent monarch who has always been passed down in the name of benevolence and love for the people gave the order to slaughter for three days on the day of the city.

That night, Kaifeng City was like hell, most of the people in the city died in the night of those three days, and all the girls who were a little bit beautiful could not escape the devil's grasp.

Today, ten years later, Zhao Kuangyin has done exactly the same thing as Guo Wei back then, how can you call this old Cao not to panic, how not to be afraid?

But I saw Sun Chunming calmly stretching out a hand and opening it and said: "Fifty Guan, you will receive money if you sell it, we will take it with you, forget it if you don't sell it, our two just want to settle down and have a home, there will always be someone willing to sell." ”

Lao Cao felt bitter in his heart, fifty times, if this price had been a moment ago, he would have been able to pump it with a big mouth.

But now, money is not as important as life, especially when I think of my big girl, I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay!" Fifty is fifty, I can't stay in this Central Plains, so I took the money and went back to my hometown."
